Center for Hope

I signed up for community service on Martin Luther King Jr. Day last year. I didn’t know where I would be placed or what I would be doing until that morning.

The woman in charge of the community service day told me I’d be working at the Center for Hope in Ambridge. I had no clue what it was, but I figured it must be for a good cause.
When I got there, I was pleasantly surprised to see what the Center for Hope was all about. The Center had so much to offer its community members, and all in one place. They had a food bank, clothes closet, Daily Bread Ministry, after school programs and even dog and cat food for low income pet owners! I was really impressed.

This article was written about the day we helped moved the Center for Hope to its new location and gives a little more detail about people behind it and how it works. Below is a picture taken from the article. We were taking everything out of the previous building and moving it to the Center's new location just a few minutes away.

There are plenty of ways to donate your time to this organization, and you should! Volunteer sign-ups are available on the Center for Hope’s website. Simply click on the "volunteer" tab, fill out the short application and wait to hear back from them!
